1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

Immune-modulatory drugs are active in immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis and the addition of alkylating agents can potentiate their action. In this phase II prospective trial we used cyclophosphamide, lenalidomide and dexamethasone in the treatment of 21 patients who were refractory (n=13, 62%) or relapsed (n=8, 38%) after prior treatment including melphalan in all cases, bortezomib in 4 and thalidomide in 6. Median number of cycles administered was 4 (range 2-9 cycles). Severe adverse events were observed in 57% of patients, most common being neutropenia (29%). The hematologic response rate was 62%, with one complete response and 5 very good partial responses. Overall median survival was three years. The achievement of CR/VGPR was associated with a significant survival advantage. The combination of cyclophosphamide, lenalidomide and dexamethasone is an effective treatment for relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis, and good quality hematologic response should be the aim of treatment in this setting. (clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT00607581).
